Prostitution is the most sincere form of love


The guy gets sex and the girl gets money. If that sounds cynical, it’s only because you’re thinking about it. Because the whole thrust of Anora (2024, Sean Baker) up until the conflict feels so much like the real thing; therefore it is. I’m surprised I don’t know any men who’ve married their favorite sex worker in real life.
     The only flaw for me is wondering why if the kid’s parents are so strict, how is he able to draw such exorbitant sums of money anytime he wants? But easily best movie of the year nonetheless.
